I wonder what it is going to happen if Russell will win this race.
He is a great driver no one can deny that. However, there will be a huge portion of people who will support that Mercedes is the weapon that made him win and the reason that Hamilton got this title.
The car gives a great advantage to the driver but the driver needs to have skill as well...

Yeah, this is a risk for Hamilton too, if Russell will end with winning, (improbable) then the victories of Hamilton can lose in value since everyone can win this Mercedes...
At least this is what people will think if it will happen.

Bad day for Ferrari again in this track where the engine is the key thing, very bad day for Lecrelc who lost 1 hour of practice for problems on the car.

I am very excited for George Russell racing in a Mercedes in the last two races. He is already doing very good in both practices. I can't wait to see the qualifying and race. I hope he can take the pole position and win the race. Hamilton hasn't still renewed his contract with Mercedes. If he decides to leave F1 at the end of this season (which I don't give much chance for it), we might see Russell signing a contract with Mercedes next year.

Free practice 2 30 minutes left and Russell still TOP 1...
Let's see hot it ends but if ends like this Bottas should retire if he is at his 100% Wink

Told yo, Russell is so strong but until now he got only a Williams...

1st hour with Mercedes and he is already on TOP 1.

Imagine being Bottas right now.

Tomorrow the big day and I will not miss a minute about it.

GO RUSSELL, I want him to beat Bottas, I hate him.

The track is for a fast car (Mercedes) and very short (YES we will go under 1 minute/lap) so if he does the perfect lap he can beat him.

At the moment he is above Bottas. Weird to see RUS at #1. Grin

Grosjean is going to Abu Dhabi right after he got discharged from the hospital. He want to race in Abu Dhabi when he is able to it. He got the most problems with his left hand at the moment.

I really struggle to understand what F1 drivers are like as people. Obviously they're quite fearless, but after going through that crash the idea that he immediately just wants to race again is difficult for me to process. It's hugely impressive that he's able to do that.

I hope he beats Bottas but he has 0 experience with a Mercedes car so this will be a limiting factor for him.Bottas is driving for Mercedes from a couple of years and has a lot more experience driving this car.I think Russell cannot beat Bottas in this race as if it happens then Bottas position for the 2022 year would be in danger because for 2021 he is already signed.

I was away from forum a bit, some issues, but watched the race and must say that while I was watching the Grosjean crash I thought it was a scene from a movie, he was very very lucky to get out of there alive. He should consider it 9 lives spent if he was a cat.

Also glad that Haas has new drivers, especially for Mick, looking forward to watch him race and develop.

as hamilton has not yet signed a contract with mercedes for the next few years, Russel's performance this weekend will be important to mercedes to understand if they already have the next champion at home, but changing the team during the current championship is not easy, I remember giancarlo fisichella in 2009, after taking pole position at spa with force india, he moved to ferrari to replace felipe massa and could not take even a point

Haas has built a great team for next season.
From the disastrous pair of Magnussen and Grosjean we are going to next generation drivers with Mazepin and Schumacher.
I love the way that Mazepin drives and the way he performed in F2. I hope that Haas is going to give them both a decent car and make the competitive in the championship.

Agree about it. Mazepin probably will bring a lot money to the team what is always been problem for Haas. Mazepin's father is really rich guy, heve even tried to buy Force India team, but Lawrence Stroll offered more money back then.
While Shumacher is big prospect, his name will bring much more attention and interest to the team.
Now it's main question whether Haas will be able to build competetive car for next season. I strongly doubt about it.

I guess Verstappen is as good as they come, we can definitely argue that Lewis is better, but I would say Verstappen is probably better than Bottas as well. So, Schumacher should be very very happy that his son will be racing in F1 as well but we are talking about a HUGE gap in talent there. The difference is, Max is probably better than his father, whereas Mick is much worse than his father.

In any case, it would have been so much more awesome if Michael was able to see his kid racing, that would have been a sweet thing, and maybe having his son race on his first race while he is there watching would have been hope for all the world as well. Unfortunately things are probably not that well from his side, there is still no news after this many years, I hope he gets better but doesn't look like it.

It seems that he is watching races on tv so he can see it but not in real life. https://drivetribe.com/p/michael-schumacher-watching-f1-d4pd2kX_SCq-QonzZZmn2A?iid=PHdbKeYnTQSFvfANAPHAtQ

^ For name value and to get the fans F1 has lost over the years, yeah I guess... But Max Verstappen is way ahead in skill for sure. It won't be much of a competition between them imo.

And if they really wanted to get lots of the fans back... Switch engines to the screaming V8's, V10's.

I also a fan of motor sound Grin

, unfortunately, with current politics we will never see that again in motorsport. That was also the reason why I turned Formula 1 a little bit my back and switched to MotoGP. More overtaking maneuvers and not just dependent on the vehicle, you can put Hamilton in a Ferrari and he would't have successes this year, MotoGP doesn't have that because the manufacturers are neck and neck or the concession points take effect.

Great tweet with an old video (2002) of Michael Schumacher and Jos Verstappen about having their sons in the F1.

19 years later their sons will race against each other.

Haas F1 has indeed a great line up for the upcoming season of 2021.Mick Schumacher has shown more consistency than Mazepin during F2 season as he is the leader there for the moment.If Haas do not provide them a better car than the actual one it will be a bad starting season for both of them.Nevertheless in the worst case if this happens at least they will have enough track action through 23 races to build up experience and confidence in their first season in F1.

I am really happy about Mick Schumacher will race for Haas in F1 next season. It is really good to see a Schumacher in F1 again. I'm sad for hearing that Lewis Hamilton got covid-19. I hope he gets well quickly. George Russell has a good opportunity to show himself in a Mercedes in remaning races. I hope he uses this chance nicely.

The most interesting thing for me is how Russell shapes up against Bottas. Remember Bottas was widely thought to be an excellent driver until he joined Mercedes and found himself measured against the relentless winning-machine that is Lewis Hamilton. It's a completely different sort of pressure to be driving in the best car and being expected to win. It will be fascinating to see how Russell handles it.

Yes, also good to have the Schumacher name back next season. Let's hope he is as exciting to watch as his dad was. And we also have Alonso coming back, too:)
